Real Reason for Plame Takedown?
Wayne Madsen
None of the NSA SIGINT "shops" -- centers that are tasked with different surveillance missions and regional targets -- are charged with listening in on the communications of potential threats to U.S. and allied national security posed by RUIM trafficking in WMD. These NSA "shops" include the Russian nuclear shop, the Israel shop, and those concentrating on the former Soviet "stans" in Central Asia. The SIGINT shops would normally be looking at the nuclear smuggling activities of emigre Russian and Ukrainian WMD smugglers.
For example, there were no CRITICs, top priority NSA intelligence messages, generated in the matter of Alexander Litvinenko and his plutonium-210 poisoning in London. Litvinenko, who was linked to both Russian-Israeli exiled oligarch Boris Berezovsky and Chechen guerrillas allied with "Al Qaeda."
WMR previously reported that former CIA counter-proliferation agent Valerie Plame Wilson's covert network of Brewster Jennings & Associates non-official cover (NOC) agents, as well as sources and contacts, were rolled up by the neocons in the White House and State Department to protect Bush administration officials, including Vice President Dick Cheney, who have secret business dealings with members of the RUIM global network. The turning off of NSA's "ear" on the weapons of mass destruction smuggling activities of the RUIM is another indication of White House meddling in critical intelligence gathering functions.
WMR reported on June 1, 2005, that "although [NSA] contractors are required to have the same high level security clearances as government personnel at NSA, there are close connections between some NSA contractors and countries with hostile intelligence services." The primary country then in question was Israel.
